12 year old Ifield community college student Logan started growing his hair a couple of years ago and refused to get it cut.

When his parents Shelley & Brian demanded he trimmed it, Logan turned to them and said “why don’t I donate it to that charity that makes wigs for children who lose their hair due to cancer?”

Logan’s Mum, Shelley called a local hairdressers, Mens Room Barbers, part of Serenity Hair Salon, to see if they could help.

Not only were they prepared to do it for free, but they were prepared to drop everything and do it there and then!

So Logan and Mum drove to Ifield parade where Kevin Irvine and Lewis Green, the barbers plaited then cut off Logan’s hair. Lewis went one further, giving Logan a great stylish new look.

The hair’s been donated to the The Little Princess Trust who provide real hair wigs, free of charge, to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland that have lost their own hair through cancer treatment.

A five-day strike on the Southern rail network has been announced by the RMT union in a long-running dispute over the role of guards.

Members have staged several walkouts, with the next action set for 8 August.

Parent firm Govia Thameslink (GTR) wants to use new trains where the driver operates the doors using CCTV, but the union fears job losses and has raised safety fears about the move.

GTR said it was unacceptable passengers were being made to suffer.

A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group called on union leaders to end the dispute and said that drivers already open and close the doors on thousands of trains every day.

That had been deemed safe by rail safety experts and the independent regulator which oversees safety on the railway.
